would love to have such a "shim plate" for my foil (165x90mm). how to get a easy and good result? what materials to use and how to work with it? or does anybody know if there is an item like this anywhere available to buy? As a short term solution, or to experiment with different angles, you can us...

Since you know that this impressively colourful map is totally irrelevant to radiation, and was only used to fool the ignorant masses who can't read a key properly, please explain why you felt the need to include it in your argumentation. Sure we need to be worried, but we also need to understand th...

I'll take over-engineered anytime my life is hanging by a string, thanks Well... tell me how that worked for the original post then? Worn out rope that broke, and it was impossible to assess its condition until it broke... Either this breaks in a critical time, with life literally hanging by a stri...

(...) Cabrinha say I need to replace the whole assembly which I don't understand as all it is is a broken line. (...)

Which also typically involves riding a small to very small kite. As a rule of thumb, if the kite is static and can lift me a fair bit ...

How can you say these deaths could have been prevented with YOUR way of working. Your method would not work in 40knts and hooked launch is way more controlled, ofcourse there is always a chance for things to go wrong but to simply blaim it on their launching technique is rude! (...) Because this is...

Never read such a dump thread. In my opinion it is crimal from the threadstarter to convince people to quit their Job for fun. I didn't see it that way, it's just an extreme example of an incentive for people to take some risks, and venture a bit outside of their comfort zone. This doesn't apply to...

All a matter of balance... As much as I like kiting, and I admit being more addicted than most, and I would do that everyday if the weather was playing ball, there's only so much I can handle. 2hrs sessions are pretty much the max before the body complains, and for the remaining other hours, it's go...
